Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented -March 26, 1907.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, FRED H. TREFTZ -ii. citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, the county of Cook and State of Illinois,'have invented new and useful Improvements inMetal Sash-Bars, of which the following is a specification.

then no necessity for disturbing the furniture or fixtures within the window. Many of such sash-bars are made of brass, and a feature of the present invention is to decrease the expense thereof by providing an iron bar with a brass or copper cover.

A further feature of the invention is that the face of the bar is free from screws or the thin sheet metal, such plated or otherwise,

like, thereby giving the bar a .neat appearance.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- I i Figure 1 is a side or edge view of the bar. Fig. 2 is an end view. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3, and Fig. 4 is a section on the line 44, ofFig. 1.

Referring specifically to the drawings, the construction 'of the sash-barembraces an inside vertical bar 6 and an o' tside vertical bar 7, connected together by olts 8, extending therethrough'. The heads of these bolts are sunk in the bar 7 and the holes soldered over, so that the outer surface of said .bar is made smooth and the bolts are immovably fixed to the bar. i

The outside bar 7 receives a cover 9, of as brass or copper, and the edges of this cover are turned in under the edges of the bar 7, as indicated at 10.

The inside piece 6 is provided at each side with removable side bars 11, which are secured to the bars6 by cross-bolts 12, the heads and nuts of which are referably countersunk, the bolts extending t ough all three of the bars. 7

At its ends the bar is provided 'with covering thereon with its socket or end plates 13, provided with holes 14, whereby they may be screwed to the casing, and these plates have recesses to receive bosses 15.0n the ends of the bar 6 to hold the parts in place. I

To set the glass (indicated at 16) from the inside, the bolts112 are removed andthe side pieces 11 taken ofi.. This allows the plates of glass to be set-in against the bar 7. To

set the "glass from the outside, the nuts of the bolts are removed', and the bar 7 can then be removed and the glass plates set in against the side pieces 11 and the front bar replaced. The inside bar 6 does not have to be moved in either case, but" can remain in its fixed position. I

Iclaim- 1. A sash-bar comprising an outside bar, a edges clamped under the edge of the bar, an inside bar between the edges of the glass panes, bolts con-'- necting the outside and, inside bars and ex.

tending through the latter, the heads of the bolts being under the covering and their threaded ends being provided with nuts bearing against the inside bar, and side bars removably attached to the opposite sides of the inside bar. Y Y

2. sash-bar comprising a bar fixed at its endstothe sash-casing, a removable outside bar'attached to said bar, and removable side bars attached to said fixedbar, anes bein held between the outside and si e bars an the attachingmeans for both the outside and the side bars being accessible and detachable from the inside of the sash, so that either the outside or the side. bars can be removed and the panes inserted from either the outside or the lnside without disturbing the fixed bar.

3. The combination of a pair of socketplates ada' ted to be set in the casing, an inside bar t e ends of which engage in the sockets, an outside bar and side bars attached to the inside bar, and glass panes clamped between the outside bar and the side bars.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
